Lesson: Mom
Lesson Based on President Monson's Message Canaries with Grey on their Wings from the June 2010 Ensign
The Prophet President Monson was given a canary from a lady in his ward. She had two perfect yellow canaries and one with grey specks on it's wings. The lady said "This canary isnt the prettiest but it has the best song"
Sometimes we might not feel as pretty, or as big, or as smart as others. But each of us is important to the Lord. We must be good and use our talents. There are many people like the canary with grey wings. We might not be perfect but we can be good at other things.
Ask Children "What are you good at?" "What are your talents?"

My shoulders are covered, My shirt covers my stomach, My shorts or skirt go to my knees. My shirt is not low cut. My clothes are not too tight, I don't look sloppy, My hair is combed, My clothes are not saggy, torn or holey, Labels or words on my clothes are respectful and not rude or offensive.
Talk about how do we respect our bodies? (healthy food, exercise, modest clothes, dont put anything harmful into our bodies)

Sing/speak this modesty song/poem found at Sugar Doodle
It's sung to the tune of “I love to see the temple” (page #95):
My body is a temple;
I treat it with respect.
I live the Word of Wisdom.
I’m modest in my dress.
For my body is a gift from God,
He wants me to protect it.
My mouth speaks clean* words,
My thoughts are pure.
This keeps my temple holy.
*or “kind”
